"Insight Malaria" Film - Making of
13 young film makers on a joint mission in Kenya: Stop Malaria Now!
The youth worked together with a professional film team on the story of their documentation, and learned how to use the technical equipment. Each member of the group with its own experiences and perceptions played his/her part in the joint venture of making a film on the deadly disease. The film aims at raising awareness on malaria and will celebrate its premiere in 2011.

The shoot took place in Malindi at Kenya's coast. | The participants learned how to use the equipment... |
|
|
... and explored the plot of the film together, e.g. | a mosquito scout checking the mosquito population at a tourist hotel or |
|
|
local people telling their stories on living with the disease. | And there was always time for a little fun! |
|
|
The participants and the film crew stood up to protest against poverty. | The film crew travelled further to Western Kenya to visit a children center... |
|
|
... and herbal medicine farmer ... | ... who produces powder from the artimisia plant locally. |
|
|
They witnessed a community presentation on how to use bed nets ... | ... and visited a hospital. Here, most cases of disease are due to malaria. |
|
|
|
This is what mosquito love. | Participants showed solidarity with the victims of malaria. | Cameras can be very funny! |
|
|
|
The youth learned about daily life in Africa... | ... and the various (mis)use of mosquito nets. | However, there is hope and initiative like the local production of herbal malaria medicine from artimisia annua. |
